One Churchill Place in Canary Wharf, London, was designed by HOK International, with WSP Cantor Seinuk as structural engineer. Construction began in 2003, it was completed in 2004 and it opened in 2005. Barclays occupies it and holds a 999-year leasehold acquired from Canary Wharf Group. The article names no style or materials.
The roof stands 156 m high, with 32 floors and 157,164 square meters of floor area. It was originally planned at 50 storeys, then reduced to 31 after the September 11 attacks.
Four staircase columns frame the plan, and a central column holds the lifts and toilets. The design is meant to let all staff shelter in the columns during a security alert. The article gives a £750 million price for the 2026 leasehold acquisition but no construction cost, and no public access.
